Better Joycon Than Nintendo For $30 Less-NYXI Athena Controller Review

Ойындар

Better ergonomic grip, 2 remappable rear buttons, turbo function, customizable RGB, bigger face buttons, triggers, and bumpers, and far better thumb sticks, for $30 cheaper than licensed Nintendo joycons. There are a couple of downsides I will mention in this video, but still a far better option for playing your Switch or Switch OLED on the go.

    They are also labeled and sold as "binbok" controller and come in 3 colors (standard blue and red switch color, black and animal crossing blue and green...which i own). Also look at the "dobe" controller grip which is good. Own both.

    I have these NYXI in black and been using them for 2 months now. Great option and can't play without them. If you're looking for a carry case for them then the best I've found is the ButterFox large carry case. Will work with Nintendo Switch OLED. Awesome video and keep up the good work 😎👍.

The controllers for the switch are literally my only gripe with the console cause im an Xbox kid at heart and the cramped buttons inches above the camera joystick is the most annoying thing for me so im excited for this controller to get here! Was even happier that it has a case to go with it~

    DUDE!!! AWESOME SAUCE MAN! Thank you man, I've been waiting for this exact thing because the HORI version doesn't have rumbles, and I love rumbles. Oh, by the way, I do have another version made by NEXIGO, and it does the same thing as far as remappable buttons on the rear, you can only remap right side to right side, left side to left side. I think it must not be possible technically to make it be able to remap all to any button. Probably because the Nintendo software makes them able to be 2 separate controllers on the normal JoyCons (just an educated guess) and the aftermarket companies probably can't decode it or don't have permissions to. I ordered one, thanks for the discount!!

    The two halves do not share any electrical circuitry because, well, they're split in half and the controllers do not communicate to each other, only to the console. When you press a button on one half, the other half has no idea a button is pressed. That is why you can only remap left side commands to right side button press, or vice versa through software right now. Remapping buttons on the same side is easy since they are on the same circuit board. Maybe somebody will make a controller that communicates to the other half as well.

    Technically speaking you could have buttons on the right like A and B mapped to the left joycon. The Switch itself allows for button mapping so you could remap A to one of the d-pad buttons and then map that button to the back left button.
